Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha!” his laughter filling every walls of his makeshift laboratory inside their house as he sits in front of his computer, “bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!” each one getting louder than the previous laughs. “Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!”

His son who was just playing nearby got curious and approached him, “What is it dad? Have you devised another diabolical plan to conquer the world? Did you create a new mutant? Do you have a new evil invention? What is it dad? Ha?! Ha?! Ha?!” he asked excitedly.

He looked down at the boy, quite puzzled and irritated as he speaks, “of course not my boy! You know I don’t work on Sundays!”

“Then why are you laughing so loud?” the boy asked.

“Because, hi-hi-hi!, beca—hi-hi-hi” the doctor trying to control his laughter, “because, somebody sent me a funny joke in my email, ha-ha-ha!” as he burst in laughter again. “Do you want to hear it boy? ha-ha-ha!”

“Nah! I’m not in the mood for jokes right now” the boy replied as he turned away from his dad.

His name is Bryan, a 10 year old boy. A fourth-grader who always believe in his father and hopes that someday he will succeed in creating an invention that will help him conquer the world. And there’s a reason for that, he wanted to use his father’s invention to get back at Billy, a 12 year old sixth grader who is always picking on him in school.

His father? Let’s call him Dr. Evil Genius, although he would like to address himself as the square root of all evil! A scientist with a genius mind, but with an obvious lack of literary prowess, hence the stupid moniker he gave himself.

He has already made numerous attempts in the past to conquer the world with his inventions, but each attempt would always lead to failure as they always seem to backfire on him… before they even get out of his garage.

That’s why nobody ever heard of him yet.

His last attempt however seemed to be his most successful thus far, for he was able to create a genetically enhanced swarm of mutant fleas, intelligent enough to follow his every order, and were able to analyze situations and implement plan of actions to make the doctor’s quest a success.

But it was foiled by an enterprising fellow who offered the fleas a better deal than the doctor could give. They are now travelling around the world, performing in flea circus.

Vicky, Bryan’s mother, has had enough of the doctor’s insanity and decided to leave him. But she has two concerns, she already attempted to run away before, but each time the professor would be able to track her.

She was also worried about Bryan, because she realizes that the doctor won’t be able to take care of him well, and for some reason, she can’t take him with her.

But she found a solution on her problem that will allow her to look after her son still, even after running away from her husband. For she has found the perfect hiding place that not even the evil genius mind of the doctor would even consider looking at – the next door apartment.

And so, the mad doctor continues to go through his e-mails, occasionally bursting in laughter. Bryan no longer pays attention as he knows it’s one of those silly jokes again. So he just continued playing with his toys.

They were in that situation… each one minding his own business… when suddenly…

“Tiiitttt!!! Tiiittt!!!! Tiiittt!!!………. Tiiittt!!!” an alarmed went from off from one of the doctor’s equipment.

“What is it Dad?” Bryan asks excitedly, “I thought you don’t work on Sundays?”

“I don’t son… I don’t” as he stood up to check where the alarm was coming from…

To be continued….
